People seeking to partake of the American dream have always been central to America’s identity and strength. How the country treats them goes straight to its core values. The Democrats cannot sit this one out, especially when the Republican leader is so blind to the true sources of America’s greatness.

The caravan won’t reach the United States for multiple weeks. So, why are we sending 5k troops down to the border on Friday? Perhaps because it’s a political ploy to whip up fear and then look strong. They’re trying to be play us for fools.

The Trump administration is building tent cities because the caravan is trying to enter the United States to get political asylum as refugees. Despite what’s said in speeches and tweets, they’re not trying to enter the US illegally.

These families came here to work. They came to build. Others came to America in different ways, from other lands, under different, often harrowing conditions, but this place symbolizes what they all managed to build, no matter where they came from or how they came or how much they suffered.

They helped to build that magnificent city across the river. They spread across the land building other cities and towns and incredibly productive farms.

They came to make America work. They didn’t ask what this country could do for them but what they could do to make this refuge the greatest home of freedom in history.

They brought with them courage, ambition and the values of family, neighborhood, work, peace and freedom. They came from different lands but they shared the same values, the same dream.
